Two DSBN schools chosen to compete at the regional drama festival.

Eight DSBN schools will present their productions at the festival, taking place at Welland Centennial.

This is the 13th exciting year of challenges.

They call themselves “Ecovoyageurs”, “The Green Team” and even “Eco Heroes”. While their names may all be different, what they have in common is that they take their roles as environmental stewards very seriously.

DSBN students will focus on putting character into action at the annual STAT (Students Taking Action Today) Conference on February 8. Students will be inspired and encouraged to harness the “Power to Change” through a number of challenges and activities.

Open houses take place January 27, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.

Programs beginning in Grade 5 will be offered at three St. Catharines Schools and Parliament Oak in NOTL in September, 2011.

High school open houses run from January 17 - 20.
